ANMELDENLaura anticipated Andrew’s anger, but she wasn't prepared for it to be this intense.Her heart ached even more as she saw him get angry. "Drew, I know I messed up, but can you give me one more year?" she said, standing up and tearfully holding Andrew’s arm. “I swear I'll marry you in a year. Let's just wait, okay? We don't even need to get engaged first.”She felt stuck because she would lose Andrew and her career would be destroyed if the tape became public.She was frightened that the video would be made public because it would ruin her life and force her to flee the nation.Andrew gave her a chilly glance. "If you're not willing to marry me now, we can talk again in a year."With his back to her, he brushed off her hand and turned to go.However, a subtle, malevolent smirk appeared on his lips as he turned.Laura felt a mixture of grief and rage as she watched him leave, tears welling up in her eyes. She wept, "Drew, I really just need one more year..." "Bang..." The door slammed
Mary opened the email. "Paternity test?" She was perplexed. Why did this paternity test end up with her, and whose was it?She reached the final page by scrolling down. Laura and her were not described as mother and daughter.Her voice trembled, her pupils widened, and the hand gripping the phone trembled. "How could this be...?"How could Laura not be her daughter? Who was teasing her?With trembling palms, she hurried out of bed. Why?How come Laura wasn't hers? This must be a joke!Who sent her such an email knowing about this? She attempted to send a message, but it was unsuccessful.She was shocked to learn that the daughter she had loved for more than 20 years was not her biological kid. She collapsed into the ground, recalling the scene of childbirth. Jude had brought her daughter to her later, so she hadn't seen her immediately.Before she passed out from weariness, she had been in labor for a day and a night. Jude was the only person who could have benefited if her child had
"Okay!" She stared at Kai, and erased the recording. "What are you still doing here? Go check and cut down all the trees around here immediately."Kai sighed with relief as he saw that she agreed. "Okay! Tomorrow, I will personally take down the trees. You'll be safe if you just sleep soundly, Lau. I'll handle everything."With haste, Kai dressed and exited the room.He bumped into Mary as he went outside.Kai was stunned; it was unfortunate to run across Mary at this time."Mrs. Beck, I came to deliver something to Ms Beck; she left it in the car earlier.” Kai said nonchalantly.Mary didn't give it much thought because she was too busy thinking about herself. "Hmm! Going forward, simply leave it in the hallway if it's this late. If the servants see you, it could lead to rumors.""Yes, Mrs. Beck, I do comprehend. I'll just leave it in the hallway the next time if it's too late." Kai said this and then walked away without saying anything else.Mary was uncomfortable. Jude hadn't come b
When Laura opened her eyes, she saw Kai’s well-defined features. Even though he was thirty-five, his every action was mesmerizing."Hmm!" she whispered, "You know I like Drew. I don't want to talk about this again. I'm exhausted and want to go to bed," she remarked, feeling strangely agitated when Andrew was brought up.Andrew’s emotions were beyond her comprehension.When he returned from business trips, he always brought her gifts and treated her well.Despite their proximity, she sensed an unbridgeable gap between them.Kai’s face darkened; he truly liked Laura and would stop at nothing to save her."Kai, I believe Gwyneth is responsible for today's incident. The idea of her getting married to someone else was intolerable. Could you set her up for some trouble?’ Laura remarked, "I don't want her to have it easy."Kai’s eyes glowed with rage. "Yes! Can you think twice before getting engaged? I'll make sure she learns her lesson. You are aware of my love for you.”Laura scowled and t
With a mink coat draped over her shoulders and an air of elegance and luxury, Mary stepped up. "I heard that Sheila really dislikes Laura," she asked, glancing at Mallory without giving it much attention. “Will she be present at the engagement party?""Mary, don't worry," Mallory said with a radiant smile, certain that she could convince Sheila to consent. “Sheila will be there, I promise.”Mary arched an eyebrow, a little uneasy at Mallory’s self-assured words.Mary was perplexed as to why Sheila harbored such hostility toward her daughter, Laura."Sheila’s presence is crucial for the engagement party to hold any significance, so I hope she will come," Mary stated before heading out with Laura. She even felt Andrew wasn't quite sincere.Following their departure, Mallory dismissed the maids and led Jude upstairs.Jude ripped at her clothes as they embraced once they were inside the room. "Jude, why are you so impatient?" cried an irritated Mallory. “I want to talk to you about someth
"Liv, please go to my bag and get the self-sealing bag; there are samples inside," Hadley said, glancing at Olivia. “To determine whether those two are biological mother and daughter, take them for testing.”She told Chuck to get Mary’s sample.In response, Olivia said, "Okay, boss.""Boss, I'll have the results for you tomorrow morning," Olivia remarked as she hurried back with the self-sealing bag, received the sample from Chuck, and turned to Hadley. "Alright!" Hadley said as she left with Lois on her back.Little Lois was clinging to her mother's back, and Chuck was smiling at her. She closed her eyes at seeing Chuck.Chuck expressed his feelings of rejection by saying with a dejected expression, "Boss, Lois dislikes me; she closes her eyes whenever she sees me.”"Maybe it's because you're not handsome enough," Hadley thoughtfully retorted.Chuck was at a loss for words."Boss, that's too harsh," Chuck remarked, feeling quite depressed. Lois was still small, yet she already knew
Hadley made the decision to grab a few necessities before returning home.With the intention of refreshing her clothing, she drove to a neighboring mall.The majority of her clothing from two years ago was either too old or too small.She needed to start shopping for maternity clothes now that she
Pedro Fern, Hadley’s brother, picked her up. Later on, they arrived at V city’s most opulent location, Diamond Estate.Hadley is the Fern family's heiress.When she was little, she was traveling with her maid to another country without her family. But the plane crashed, and she ended up in a desert
"Let's avoid wasting each other's time because you detest me so much. Tonight, I'll move out. I'll see you tomorrow at the City’s court." Hadley said.She then made her way upstairs to gather her belongings. She was unable to bear to spend any more time at the home that had once been hers and Andre
"Drew, hahaha! Stop! Haha!”Hadley waited at the door, her heart hurting, as Laura’s lighthearted voice wafted out.It never occurred to her that she’ll return back from the hospital three days later and see this. As if leaving her to die in the flames wasn’t enough for them.Laura was blushing as
